Until a few weeks ago, the 30-year-old center-back was able to make his official debut with the Spanish squad, in the 2-0 defeat against Cádiz, in the match valid for Matchday 21 of LaLiga Santander.
However, nearing Matchday 23 of the Spanish league, it was known that Callens was not in the match against 'Los Leones' due to a muscle injury in his right leg.
In this way, the Peruvian defender will have to recover to be back in future LaLiga Santander matches. It should be noted that in his debut, Callens left a very good impression on his coach, Miguel Sánchez.
